“I disagree as well. Few women who marry into the royal family are happy,” the old lady said. “Besides, the Crown Prince is not a good match either.”
“I disagree as well,” the second brother, Nan Wuyu, suddenly interjected.
Seeing his family's reaction, Nan Wusi was quite surprised. He hadn't expected that a scene only briefly mentioned in the book would elicit such a strong emotional response when it actually happened before his eyes. And his family was unanimously against it. So why did Nan Wusi ultimately decide to accept the marriage in the original text? Did he really love the Crown Prince that much?
“Father, I don’t want to get married so early,” Nan Wusi said. “Besides, I only see the Crown Prince as an older brother.”
"Hahaha!" Nan Tianba laughed loudly, "Since our Sisi doesn't want to get married, then she won't get married."
"Thank you, Father!" Nan Wusi beamed with joy; this was her first step in escaping the plot!

Before Nan Wusi could answer, he heard his mother ask, "Wusi, what are you daydreaming about?"
"Ah, nothing. I was just thinking about some things," Nanwusi replied.
"Are you still thinking about the arranged marriage?" the mother asked gently, showing no trace of her earlier agitation. "You don't need to worry too much. If you don't want to, no one can force you, not even the emperor!"
"Yes, I'm not worried anymore, Mother," Nan Wusi said with a smile.
Jiang Zhirou realized that her daughter had really changed. She would never have spoken to her so kindly before. She felt a mix of emotions, both moved and touched. Looking at her daughter, she felt a pang of guilt. It was all her fault for not giving her daughter a beautiful face.
Nan Wusi was still processing the complex look in Jiang Zhirou's eyes when a lively voice came from outside.
